Animals on the earth have a size and weight range limited by their species, and are controlled by their genes. Each species has its own appearance, size and weight. On this earth, body size affects the life of creatures, and to a certain extent determines the existence of creatures. Larger bodies often have an advantage over small creatures. Some aggressive small animals suffer from physical disadvantages. Easy to be bullied.
The difference in body size will have a certain impact on the attack power and ecological status of animals. What if their body size becomes the same? Will the same weight change their struggle? Recently, there has been a discussion. If all animals on the earth become 100 kilograms of large animals with a standard weight, then which race of animals will become the new overlord?
In fact, this hypothetical problem should not exist, but now that it is raised, we can also use this to understand the body structure of animals. If this hypothesis is true, the most powerful one that people can think of is insects. Although the insects we know are small, they have their own attack weapons and protective shells, have enough ability to protect themselves, and have the attack power that can harm other animals.
Among the thin insects, the mantis is the more aggressive. The mantis has a hard shell, a certain degree of protection, quick and agile action, and a certain jumping ability. It even has a pair of sharp forelimbs as a weapon for harvesting. It is only in a weak position because of its natural small body, what if it also becomes a large animal of 100 kilograms?
and scientific data show that if the weight of a praying mantis rises to 100 kg, it will completely exceed the range of the mantis’s body can withstand
, this weight will make them not survive Room. This is related to a "square-cube law". Simply put, if the weight of a praying mantis reaches 100 kilograms, its volume becomes 5000 times larger, but its surface area will only increase by 292 times.
The difference in volume and surface area is not terrible. What is terrible is that the mantis’s circulatory system and respiratory system are not enough to support its increased weight. The circulatory system of the praying mantis is the same as that of ordinary insects. The efficiency of this circulation mode is much lower than that of the mammalian net-tube type. After gaining weight, the mantis with such a slow circulatory system is fatal; the respiratory system of the praying mantis is also deadly. Because the valve diameter can't keep up and can't supply enough oxygen, it is impossible for the mantis to survive after gaining weight.
Since praying mantis is not good, let’s use birds as an assumption, leaving aside insects. Birds have the ability to fly and their attack power is also online. If you add a weight of 100 kilograms, it would be terrible. However, if the bird really has a weight of 100 kg, according to a certain ratio, it will only have 55% of its strength left to control its physical activities, and its circulatory and respiratory systems will also have corresponding problems. Survival is still a problem.
Furthermore, with such a weight, it is still a question of whether it can fly, let alone how powerful it is. A certain weight will also cause the body to be relatively clumsy. This is the established law of animals. In fact, the appearance, body shape, weight, and other structures of the creatures on the earth are formed during the years of tempering. They constantly adjust their physical state when adapting to the living environment, and form the best way of living in the evolution of life. And looks like.
So their current form is the best model for them, and we should not change it at will. If you want to find a 100 kg animal overlord, you should find a beast with a weight of about 100 kg, such as tigers and leopards. These animals that have both weight and attack power can be called beasts.
